Thank you for this. I needed it. I know that so much of my struggle is mental. I do binge and yes, it is mostly emotional eating. I had lost 110 pounds and have put 40 of it back on. Getting it back off has been so much of a struggle because of depression. I finally like I am on the right track again. Thank you again for…

Yep, you described me except is the husband I am sneaking by.

I am so glad I found this group. I so understand about binge eating and the need for accountability. It is truly an addiction for me and I always feel like crap afterwards. I do it completely in shame, but yet have a hard time stopping something that makes me feel so bad. For me bingeing is sometimes eating until it…

1. I am cold all the time. But, this summer I am used to walking i to a restaurant or the movies wearing a sundress but carrying a jacket. 2. I do miss my wedding rings. They are currently 3 1/2 sizes too big at last check. 3. All these weird, hard pointy things are called bones. Didn't know that it's my first time seeing…

Hi, I agree with all the previous post. Just stick it out and keep logging on...I am 5'5 and at my heaviest I was 264 pounds- I am currently 100 pounds less than that number. I know that it is hard at times- please believe me...I know all about the struggle. But, I am really trying to hard to finish my weight loss. I want…

I understand how all of you ladies feel. Sometimes it is simply the weekends that lead to bad choices or stress or just me not being in the right head space. Today I have gained some weight back and I am working on getting it back off. My current goal is to feel proud about the choices I have made at the end of everyday.…

Add me :)

Thanks so much for the suggestions. I was also looking at Pump and P90x. I like following a schedule that is already set. I had been doing my own exercise plan for a year and I wanted a challenge and to finish up my weight loss so I ordered Insanity. But now my goals have changed from just weight loss to a bikini body and…

If I make it, then I just put in the recipe and measure out my own servings. For example when I make soups and stews I measure it out in 1 cup servings and put them into the recipe and track it that way. With stuff like mac and cheese I do the same thing and just cut in to how every many servings I want it to be and track…

I'm on Month 2 day 3. It is crazy hard, and man am I sore today. But, I love it! :smile:

I agree with everything said here. Initially it was hard but now it has been such a habit that I look for measuring cups at other people's houses too. :) I say not only look at serving size info and use measuring cups/spoons. Also, get a food scale. A digital one is my suggestion. I weigh everything, even ice cream!…

ice cream, cheesecakes....any dessert period

Thanks. :) Yes they are!

My HRM, water, and the thermostat must be set to 75.

*I don't like my food to touch unless its supposed to like salad. Yeah, I make several trips at buffets too. My family is used to it and they all buy sectioned plates whenever we have family gatherings ( and everybody eats off them not just me). *I like my eggs basically burned, completely browned not black but definitely…

Hi and welcome!:smile:

The first two times I lost weight I kept my fat clothes. My thinking was " what if I need them?" I look back now and wish I had the strength then to believe that I would not need them again. And you know what happened... Gained weight back and put those clothes back on. Over the summer I took so many bags to donate my…

I understand what you mean. I used to feel the same way when I would see thin people whether it would be here or at the gym. Because I was also big and crying on the inside. Trust me I could post a picture from a couple of years ago. Believe me I do understand, but what I had to learn was that all people regardless of how…

Hey and thanks girl. You got that right!

My reasons have changed over this journey so far.. Initially I was just depressed and wanted to feel better and I knew that my weight was part of what was making me sad. Then it went to looking better and physically feeling better. Now it's more because I can: I have accepted that I am strong enough to do anything. So why…

I will be working out...it feels to good to do something just for yourself that is so worth the time and effort to skip just because it's Christmas. Insanity Day 16.

Hi and welcome. :smile:

Hi Ladies...I just wanted to say that I joined this group for the support. :) I understand having no idea where to start. I remember watching (yes, I said watching not doing) an exercise video and thinking that they were insane if they thought I was going to do a jumping jack. I have been exercising for well over a year…
